Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The program contents were selected and organized in an integrated way, with the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills and competences related to the nursing process centred on the sexual and reproductive health of the human person and the adaptation of the newly- born to extrauterine life. For all the themes developed, the student will be offered the opportunity to learn and actively reflect on the role of the general care nurse and the application of the nursing process in different clinical practice contexts.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The curricular unit is developed in contact hours and in the student's autonomous working time. For the intended objectives we use teaching methodologies expositive, interrogative, role play, case studies and simulation. Theoretical classes are essentially expositive and interactive. Theoretical-practical classes are intended to deepen the themes taught with the aid of suitable didactic material (simulators, models, videos) and for the demonstration, execution of techniques and procedures that will be later developed by students in simulated practices, under guidance and teacher supervision. The continuous assessment regime consists of a written test time (80%) and theorical-pratical classes (20%). In all items, the UFP Pedagogical Regulation applies.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Students are invited to be involved in the learning process. The theoretical sessions, where the expository, interrogative and brainstorming methods predominate, alternate with theoretical-practical sessions, which also include small group work, case studies and film viewing. In the sessions of laboratory practice will be used the demonstrative method. The student's involvement in the learning process is carried out in order to motivate and promote a more sustainable acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences. With a view to the operationalization of nursing procedures and the acquisition of critical-reflexive attitudes, the demonstrative method was used for the development of manual / psychomotor skills, role play for the development of communication and diagnostic skills, and panel discussion , in the reflection of the integration of the theoretical contents in the laboratory practices.
